Recently, I was passing along some approaches toward, and conventions within, a sing-along-style jam. I was reminded of this article from Acoustic Guitar Mazazine.
I was interviewed for the article, and I’m proud to say that a lot of my thoughts were included!
p.s. 2011!?!?!?!? Wow, I have been at this for a long time.
Yet, it’s not a performance. Those people are your allies,
not your audience. “It’s more like basketball than theater,”
says Jason McInnes, a guitar teacher who leads several
regular jams at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music.
“Everybody wants the game to keep going, so they’re going
to do everything they can to keep it going.”
